This thesis revolves around the question of how can we push and use certain parts of our designs to influence people’s attitudes and reactions to create a better experience for the people who experience our designs. Through the use and control over multiple characteristics within architecture such as color, shape, material, lighting, and a few others, we can learn to better utilize the subtle effects they have on the human mind to improve our capabilities for creating better spaces for all. By combining the knowledge from multiple studies about each aspect, it will be used to create more positive spaces overall for everyone that then can be applied to our everyday designs.
